save yourself some possible headache and get an external. anything by diamond or motorola is fine, provided it is NOT a 'winmodem'. Any k56flex modem should be upgradeable to the v.90 standard via a firmware update. My motorola is, that way you can enjoy k56flex today (if your isp supports it) and v.90 in the near future. My experience with 56k modems leaves me prefering 33.6, but maybe you have perfect phone lines where you live and 56k will work for you. 56k modems work perfectly as 33.6 modems in case your phone lines don't give good performance with 56k. ======================================================================= "I was playing poker the other night ... with Tarot cards.

I am going to purchase a new modem in the near future and I need to know whether I should get an internal one or an external one. Also which companies are best for linux (or SUSE).
